Hands-on projects using the VEX Robotics platform. Participate in FIRST LEGO League Explore!

VEX GO harnesses children's natural curiosity by providing a platform encouraging young students to investigate, tinker, explore, learn from mistakes, and try again. This approach fosters critical learning at an age when young minds are still open to their full potential, laying the foundation for their future development.

Students participate in the FIRST® LEGO® League (FLL) Explore event. The FLL Explore season runs for a dedicated 6-week period leading up to the official festival. Following this exciting event, students seamlessly resume their standard GearMinds curriculum.

Course Goals:

Build and explore an archaeological dig site and the tools required to uncover mysterious artifacts.
Create a motorized model for the FLL Explore festival.
Participate in the FLL Explore festival and share the learning with the judging team.
Design simple to complex builds with motors, gears, and sensors.
Learn to program and engage in STEM activities.
Develop logic and problem-solving skills.
